I think this:

Was a reply to:

But as Doss doesn’t use the quote reply button, this stuff happens

Im aware, i am referring to the two posts above him

Utter nonsense

He was poor against Collingwood, losing contests he shouldn't have that cost us.

He has been decent since then, though.

Take a bow Michael.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Take a bow Michael.

So good.

Where does that rank among the games he's played this year?

It was probably his most significant.

I'd prefer that his main task each week is defence.

Can't recall a better game from him this season.

 

[shakeyabonbon]

Best game i've ever seen him play

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

To be fair, Buddy was injured.

Hurley always struggles with the taller guys who can leap and extend and the last time Franklin took an overhead mark was before Mick even entered the league.

Unsurprising, he completely belted him

 

[Jesseb]

Sticking it the * up Roos is fantastic. Eat a d ick

 

[eth-dog]

Brilliant game.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That’s what he’s capable of. Best one-on-one defender in the game.

Surely no more loose roles

I always remember Hird saying that Hurley’s biggest strength is by far his competitiveness. Key defence is where thats best utilised.

Supreme.

 

[TheGrizz]

Never. In. Doubt.

 

[bjisgod9]

Lovely by Hurls, defended like we know he can, can go up another level if he gets confidence in his kicking back again and takes more risky long options more often

 

[Eleven 38]

Completely screwed on the 2 goals against tonight.
Its awesome we have 2 big guys down back who can interchange between taking the best forward and the zoning off backman.

Didn't picture him as the velcro wallet type tbh...

Crowd really got behind him, earnt everyone’s respect I thought and reminded everyone why he is an AA caliber player

 

[naraku]

Very pleased for him since he's been under the pump this year obviously.

Next week no risks, 1-1 vs Roughead.

 

[Shane Heard]

That elbow to the back of the neck by the tattooed princess was ignored by that imbecile of an umpire. Unlucky hurls.

But who cares...who gives a #### ..he who laughs last laughs the loudest.

A wonderful performance tonight.

Hurley was interviewed post match on Fox Footy and just reminded Roos that 12 weeks ago he said "Hurley couldn't mind a baby in a pram".

Obviously was carrying that one around for a while. Really showed the world what a super defender he is.

Loved it! so happy for him.
